Aaaah Switzerland … my home country. I always go whenever I have the chance and visit my brother and my fantastic nieces and nephews. Leaving with the mindset that I’m going to be coming back with a few extra pounds.

Unlike what many think, on a culinary level, it’s not just a country that makes chocolate and cheese with holes…but truthfully it hides some unique delicacies!

Right when I got back, I decided to rethink some of the traditional plates, and what’s better than in the form of a sandwich!

We’ll call it, “CH-AM”.

For the sandwich I used the Fleischkäse, a kind of typical Bavarian meatloaf, typically served with an egg on bulls-eye, instead of the classic beef patty. Topped with: Roasted potatoes with smoked bacon, onions and cheese, essentially a potato salad, a classic side dish there. Also, sliced and seared tomatoes seasoned with oregano, lightly fried sliced red onion, until it becomes bitter and a horseradish and honey mustard…the result?

The intense flavors of Fleischkäse and hash browns, the contrast of the runny yolk of the egg, the texture of tomato, bitter taste of crispy fried onion and spicy and the sweet honey mustard and horseradish, all fit in a nice artisan bun, required by american tradition, they create a unique flavor explosion!
